I have downloaded Catalyst drivers from amd site, unpacked it and created a package with



$ sudo ./amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/saucy
Created directory fglrx-install.FLGUtu
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

After that I try to install those packages but I get :



$ sudo dpkg -i fglrx_13.251-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-amdcccle_13.251-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-dev_13.251-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

Got it! :-)



sudo gedit /usr/src/fglrx-13.251/kcl_acpi.c


Delete these last 3 lines in the file:



     ((acpi_table_handler)handler)(hdr);
return KCL_ACPI_OK;
}


replace them with:



#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3,9,1)
((acpi_tbl_table_handler)handler)(hdr);
#else
((acpi_table_handler)handler)(hdr);
#endif
return KCL_ACPI_OK;
}


Then run:



sudo dkms install -m fglrx -v 13.251 -k 3.11.0-17-generic


Then reboot. Worked for me - working kernel 3.11 and fglrx now!



(I worked this out from this page: https://gist.github.com/moldcraft/8116528)



As you dont have the drivers properly installed yet you will have to edit the extracted file at catalyst/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/kcl_acpi.c as in the URL above...



If you wanna +1 my other question feel free to ;-)
